I want someone like David

Someone that has maturity

And a good sense of humility

Yet still remains a pure, untouched seed

Naïve to all the world's greed

'Tis with his kind levity

That I assume for his immortality—

A reason I never can heed

But perhaps, I want someone close to my age

Older, older than David be

So he would not fall into my cage

And have a ruined fantasy...

Yet, in the end, David still is in my mind

How I love to love his kind!
